Pietro.

yes, Pietro, I do feel the same...it feels to me as coming out of the depth of his psyche...one needs a lot of "experience" to see it, like Leonard Cohen does it.

As a student of C.G. Jung..we would say, one needs to be aware of ones own shadowy parts in ones psyche and then one has to face that with honesty...once HE wrote: from bitter searching of the heart..we raise to play a greater part...and from my Jungian point of view ..that not only helps me, us..it also changes something in the world.

Be patient with my kind English, its my second language..thanks Angelika

It's that 'it is written'. Period.

I don't believe in blind luck either, so I agree. (Poetic license) There is a cause/effect rule/relationship in our existences so in that way I would agree; if it is written in our cause/effect script of our potentialities

If you become the ocean you will not become seasick....Jikan (aka Leonard Cohen)

It's comin' from the feel that this ain't exactly real, or it's real, but it ain't exactly there! . Jikan

This heart is lucky too
To have run into you
My rhyme I wrote
Two days ago
Was never read
Is not yet known
Today I take a chance
And give it to the man from France
There is a truth
Few seem to see
The Pharoahs are now
The Pharisees
Leonard seems to me
To be
A rainbow in a cave
When all is one
When there is no more learning
To be done
No need for moon
Or sun

Bonjour Jean
